"Roster of Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution Buried in Indiana"
Abraham Hiley closes the list of authenticated Revolutionary pensioners who were residents of Perr County, receiving an $80 annual bounty, under Act of March 4, 1831, from March, 1834, in recompense for his services as a private in the Pennsylvania Militia. His grave is beside that of his wife, near Bear Creek in Tobin Township, on the "Hardin Grove" estate, now the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Kepler Groves (Mildred Dessa Ramsey). His desendants remain only under other names through the female line.

Abraham Hiley is my 1st cousin 4x removed. The only information on the location of the graves is given by account in Abrahams Bio. I had to use Rome as findagrave demanded a city?? I feel that by the contibution
that Abraham gave to our Country, we should take the extra step. If this location of his grave can be found it would be a credit to Perry County, Indiana and to us.
Thank you for your efforts.
